There are some Hallmark Hall of Fame Movies I like, and some I didn't like, and many that I have enjoyed so very much that I have those on DVD - to enjoy over and over again! I know many of you feel the same about a beloved HHOF film!

A Crush on You :) - Hallmark Channel Movie

MOVIE REVIEW

A Crush on You :)

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: June 11, 2011

CAST:

Brigid Brannagh ... Charley Anderson
Sean Patrick Flanery ... Ben Martin
Christine Scott Bennett ... Chloe Anderson
Michael Clarke Duncan ... Big Jim Nelson

PLOT:

When Ben Martin e-mails Chloe, a beautiful mystery girl who keeps crossing his path, he sends a message to single mother Charley Anderson by mistake. Ben begins dating Chloe, but she never quite lives up to the e-mail relationship and anonymous friendship he develops with Chloe’s co-worker Charley.

Movie Review:

Okay, this was a refreshing romantic comedy... with no language, sex, violence, etc... There was some drinking, however. No one was ever drunk, though. If you listen closely, Ben tells Charley that he switched to 7UP.

It was a cute romantic mixed up comedy! Ben was attracted to Chloe Andersen because she was pretty to him, but in other ways, he became attracted to Charley Anderson, sharing the same interests in numerous things - music, food, etc... Well, in order to meet Chloe, Ben overheard her telling her e-mail address to a friend and he decided to e-mail her anonymously, as her secret admirer.

Instead of going to Chloe, the e-mails went to Charley and they started to connect anonymously on-line while sharing their thoughts and innermost feelings.

I loved watching the connection between Ben and Charley develop, not only on-line, but in real life, too... and I kept waiting for him to finally dump Chloe for her. In the end, though, Chloe dumped Ben, and after figuring out about the e-mails, revealed all the details to Ben & Charley. It wasn't until then, that Ben finally went after Charley. I think it took him long enough! He should've realized sooner that his attraction to Chloe was only skin deep! (Just my two cents)

All in all, though.... it's a very fun romantic chick-flick! So, next time it's on the Hallmark Channel- be sure to catch it with your girlfriends!

See, it's a fun and sweet romantic comedy!

CBS says "The End" to the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" Movies

CBS is dropping the Hallmark Hall of Fame (HHOF) Series. Why?, you might ask, after 16 years? Well according to CBS, due to their current lineup of programming, they are having difficulty scheduling around it.

Oh, come on.. there are only 3 HHOF Fame Movies in a year! I think CBS just no longer cares enough "to Air the Very Best!" (that's, of course, a spin on Hallmark's Greeting Card logo - "When you care enough to send the very best!"

The Hallmark Hall of Fame series began in 1951, spending 30 years on NBC. It had brief runs on ABC and PBS, before landing on CBS. Over the past 60 years, under the "Hall of Fame" banner, there has been 243 films!

CBS released the following statement: "This is a partnership that has served CBS very well for many years. Hallmark Hall of Fame is a first-class organization, and we wish them nothing but success in their future."

First, the networks take away the old Family Sunday night movies, the Movie of the Week, After School Specials, and the Wonderful World of Disney Movies no longer play faithfully on Saturday nights on ABC. CBS's airing of the Hallmark Movies was truly the last one left.


Over the years, Hallmark Hall of Fame has brought us such wonderful movies:
A Season for Miracles, Front of the Class, The Secret Garden, November Christmas, Ellen Foster, Pictures of Hollis Woods, The Magic of Ordinary Days, etc...

Walmart's attempt to bring back the family movie night has moved their movies from NBC to the Fox Network - which seems to have signed in their contract that a previous American Idol contestant must somehow participate in the movie, which is fine if their acting is good and their presence makes sense in the movie, like Brooke White in Change of Plans.

Back to HHOF Movies... I am saddened to think the audience for them - for good old Family Movies, is waning.

I know I still enjoy most of them and always watch them with my family. I sure hope someone else picks up the HHOF Fame Movies from CBS. Family Programming is still important and very much wanted & needed on Television today!
